The publication by the Toronto News on Saturday last of a holiday number coi.sisting of 5^ full sized psees wis a unique accomplishment. This is the largest one cent paper evt>r published in Canada. It was too big even fi>r the mammoih Hoe sextaple press which The News recently installed and which will not print more than 48 pages. Over 14 tons of paper was consumed in the issue â€" an evidence of the rapidly growing cir- culation of The News. At the popular price of 9100 a year The Nows now finds Its way into all parts of Canada. It is not so much the price of the paper, however, which is giving The News such a lead over its competitors as the fact that the public arc discoveriiig the merits of the paper itself. All who have not seen The Nows ill its new dress should write to Tor- onto for a sample copy.
